With the great amount of success the FBA Pro Tour has created, higher standards and criteria for all aspects have been demanded by event organizers and competitors alike. We have created a scoring system to assist competitors and judges to understand how to fairly asses and score the performance on stage. This has no bearing on the rules specifically, more toward the world of flair in general.

It is important that we train judges to use the FBA Scoring System correctly. We are adding new FBA Certified Judges each year.

FBA Certified Master Judges have the ability to not only train other judges on every aspect of an event, but also to oversee the scoring program and assist in event execution.

To become a FBA Certified Flair Judge, you have to go through several very intensive training sessions. These FBA Certification Meetings are held before major competitions with a budget large enough to support the extra costs of these meetings. FBA Certified Flair Judges are not told how to score, but are taught how to view the flair in a way to absorb as much as possible and digest it down to specific scores. Flair Bartending is extremely difficult to judge and without a solid system to break down the action, much will be lost. FBA Certified Judges are the best in the business.

FBA Certified Accuracy Judges have the ability to focus on the task at hand. They have the knowledge to judge any type of accuracy round in any FBA competition, including Speed Rounds, Pour Tests, as well as Flair Rounds. The system used by these judges allows them to analyze and score the competitor as accurately as possible.
